HC Deb 22 February 1940 vol 357 c1541W
Mr. McGovern

asked the Home Secretary the amount of money expended, up to the latest date, on wooden strutting of tenements in Glasgow for air-raid precautions purposes, and the amount spent on erecting galvanised iron structures on footpaths in front of tenement entrances?

Sir J. Anderson

I understand that the total amount expended on the strutting of closes in Glasgow is about £91,500. Of this £65,000 represents strutting inside the closes; and £8,000 and £18,500 the erection of baffle walls at the front and back respectively.
